Since the addition of the implicit row object in 1.0-b1 I've replaced all my
ColumnDecorators with code in the body of the <column>tag. I think this is a
far nicer approach - I can create a custom tag to do any custom formatting &
re-use the tag anywhere - not just inside a <table>.
You can use this approach to solve the problem you mention with the jstl:
<display:column sort="true">
<fmt:formatDate value="${current.dateLogged}" type="date"
dateStyle="SHORT" timeStyle="SHORT"/>
</display:column>
Does anyone have any examples of formatting that can be done with a column
decorator, but not via column body?

One use of the ColumnDecorator (a good addition) is to format dates
correctly according to the locale of the user. In order for the locale
information to be available to the decorator, a reference to the request
object needs to be available, correct? Would it make sense to extend the
ColumnDecorator class with a method for passing a reference to the
request object? This could be called once at class initialization.
Comments?
